Effective Talking Points

    -

    • -
  • Creates a chilling effect on freedom of movement and association
    • -
  • Disproportionately impacts marginalized communities

- mdi-chart-line - Questionable Effectiveness -
- - -
    -
  • Limited peer-reviewed studies on crime reduction effectiveness
    • -
  • High false positive rates and accuracy issues
    • -

    • -
  • May create false sense of security while misallocating resources
    • -

- mdi-scale-balance - Legal & Regulatory Issues -
- - -
    -
  • Lack of clear policies on data retention and sharing
    • -
  • Potential violation of state privacy laws
    • -
  • Inadequate oversight and transparency measures
    • -
  • Need for robust audit and accountability mechanisms
    • -

    • -
- - - - - -
- mdi-handshake - Keeping It Non-Partisan -
- - - - Important: Privacy concerns about ALPRs unite people across political divides. Avoid framing this as a partisan issue. - -
    -
  • Privacy and government overreach concerns resonate with conservatives and libertarians
    • -
  • Civil rights and community surveillance concerns appeal to progressives
    • -
  • Avoid connecting ALPRs to immigration enforcement - opinions vary widely by region
    • -
  • Focus on local community values: fiscal responsibility, transparency, accountability
    • -
  • Research your community's political leanings and frame arguments accordingly
    • -
  • Emphasize bipartisan support for privacy rights and constitutional protections
    • -
  • Use language that brings people together rather than creates division
    • -
- - Strategy Tip: In conservative areas, emphasize government overreach and fiscal waste. In progressive areas, focus on civil rights and community impact. In mixed communities, stick to universal privacy and transparency themes. - - - - - - - + @@ -294,7 +119,7 @@ Prepare 2-3 minute statement (practice timing). - Bring a printed or digital copy of your statement. + Bring a copy of your statement. @@ -308,7 +133,7 @@ Arrive on time or early. - State your name and other info requested (often district or address). + State your name and connection to the city.
